I was 23 that year, the music when there came on was bringing me right back to dancing with waistcoats and jeans look 😁 no mobiles etc, happier simple days

[@mountaindewisextreme]

They should bring this back, this is amazing! Small chairs, small players, big entertainment!

[@lapnguyen2898]

This was so boring. So many misses in the early stages that I ended up reading comments for entertainment.

[@DM-kv9kj]

I don't mind a few misses, I found this thoroughly engrossing. Not every match has to be top level snooker to be enjoyable.

Looking forward to this! Please do more clips of professional players when they're still juniors if you have any more in the archives 😁 I'd love to see Judd

[@corallaroc2946]

16:08 O'Sullivan "These tables are very fast." Haha, old times. From the start of the video I was amazed how slow the cloth is!

[@Mario-fv3zs]

It's great to see professional players when they first started playing as young boys. And respect for the parents who gave their kids a chance to pursue their dreams.

[@kjbennie9245]

Heck if my kid had talent like that who wudnt?!

[@jimmybaldwin737]

I knew Martin Gould as a kid. And he was always playing pool and stuff. Great guy. Really wished my parents pushed me to do something like that. I don’t think his parents pushed him. I think it’s just what he wanted. Really happy he’s done well in snooker

[@seanscanlon9067]

@@kjbennie9245 That's the OP's exact point though, their parents gave them the opportunity to discover and nurture their talent. How many kids out there never uncovered their talents over 101 things and not just snooker or sport, due to their lack of parental support or maybe their family's financial situation?

[@stehairy]

That was the last time Stephen was seen wearing a bow tie

[@sharpvidtube]

Just before he got the same neck allergy that Alex Higgins suffered from :)

[@flobbingdonkey]

Stephen Maguire @ 13: "Dislikes moody people". As an adult he is well known for thumping the table hahaha

[@sharpvidtube]

That's while playing, I don't think he's like that off the table. Lots of sports people are like that.

[@williamoldaker2437]

So glad I wasn't the only one to appreciate the irony

[@JGHN-g8h]

Bet his parents was always moody and argumentative as he grew out to be one also

[@waytothewill]

He has developed in that aspect. His last tournament performance also showed that he has improved his temper.

[@lfc_40]

My dad and me were playing snooker as it were and a ball jumped out of the pocket and we got thrown out because we weren't allowed to spoil the cloth. Yet Maguire here and other pros they ruin the cloth. Anyone can make a ball jump

[@kylemc0254]

They need to bring this back it would encourage youth to play the game!!

N-N-N-N-Nineteen. Nice reference, Ronnie. I think your commentary on this is spot on. And you were only...N-N-N-N-Nineteen.

[@gto6254]

Ronnie was 18 becoming 19 that year (1994) and 19 years later he would defeat Barry Hawkins in the WSC final. The black ball Barry missed that would have allowed him to defeat Ronnie likely did not weigh on his mind, as he defeated Ronnie 5-3 on their first pro encounter at the 2002 Scottish Open. Prophetic Ronnie had na-na-na-nineteen on his mind that day (17:58 and 20:20),

[@MegaAndreyy]

Nowadays is easier to see Maguire throwing a tantrum than back then
